Oregon Tool S55 Advancecut 16 in Chainsaw Chain

Product Description

The OREGON TOOL S55 is a 16-inch semi-chisel chainsaw chain built for landscapers and homeowners running small, low-powered saws up to 42 cc. The chain features a hard-chromed cutter construction with a precision, heat-treated semi-chisel profile that cuts smoothly through wood while tolerating debris contact better than full-chisel designs. Hardened rivets and a tough chrome outer layer reduce wear between sharpenings. The built-in Lubri-Tec automatic oiling system delivers oil to critical chain contact points during operation, extending chain life and reducing downtime. Fits any chainsaw brand configured for 3/8-inch pitch and .050-inch gauge guide bars.

The S55 is designed for residential and light commercial use on bar lengths up to 16 inches with saws rated up to 42 cc. It is compatible with any brand of chainsaw that runs a 3/8-inch pitch, .050-inch gauge chain, making it a versatile replacement option across a wide range of equipment. The low-kickback, low-vibration design meets ANSI standards and is suited for extended cutting sessions where operator fatigue is a concern. Landscapers and tree service professionals handling light-duty trimming and felling work will find this chain a practical daily-use option.
